The Final Airbus A380 - The Last Delivery Flight

  • 16 Dec 2021 was a historical and sad day for A380 fans, Airbus has just delivered the last A380 MSN272 to customer Emirates Airline. In total, 251 A380s have been built.
    The new aircraft, registered as A6-EVS, is Emirate's 123rd Airbus A380 superjumbo jet. It is also the final A380 aircraft to join the Emirates’ fleet.
    I visited the brand new A380 in Dubai and interviewed Captain Dwayne Walker who flew it out of the Airbus factory in Hamburg. He spoke about the go-around after takeoff to commemorate the occasion. He also spoke about the future operation of the A380 in Emirates.
    Next, I met up with an engineer Amjad, who showed me all the items the ground engineering team installed while the new airplane arrived in Dubai.
    I will never forget seeing the maiden A380 departure in Toulouse on 27th April 2005. It is hard to believe that the A380 is now saying goodbye to the Airbus factory, just 16 years later. The A380 has touched the lives of so many passengers by setting new standards in terms of flying and travel experience. Wish the new A380 many more happy landings!

    I've never been so personally attached to an aircraft as I am to the A380. Flown on the Emirates A380's over 25 times, some business class, some economy. If it wasn't for the A380 I would not have made it home in time to be with my father before his untimely passing, and it was also the aircraft that took me to where I met my wife for the first time. This is a sad day for Aviation, but my heart will always remain with this aircraft forever. Thank you for your amazing video's Sam.

    I first saw a 747 as a young boy in 1970. Then, decades later, as a rather mature ageing man, I heard with disbelief that an even bigger and mightier plane was now in existence. But I've never been on an A380. And now, I've discovered with even greater disbelief, already the last one has been produced. Will I ever have the chance to travel aboard an A380, I wonder ...

    An airplace whose time never came. It'll soon be flying spares for sale. Airbus management just couldn't resist one-upping Boeing and coining the term Super Jumbo. Instead, it'll go down with the L-1011 and the Concorde with the fewest airplanes ever built. 250 A-380s delivered. Entered service 2007, most were parked by 2021. 14 years. Concorde only delivered 20 airplanes, but they flew in service for 27 years.
    You can bet that Emirates only took delivery because cancellation costs would have been unacceptable.
    Sometimes "build it and they will come" doesn't quite work out. Nostalgics will weep tears of sorrow for the A-380. I think many A-380 operators are weeping tears of joy that they're mostly parked.
    There's an old adage among engineers:
    "Engineering monuments have a way of becoming tombstones."
    [Neither kind of tears from me. Ducking for cover from the weeping nostalgics.]

      @@talbothattingh9855 It is not tho. It was built waaay too late to be useful for it's intended role, it's incredibly wasteful, and only one airline uses them consistently (and even that is changing with emirates decomissioning their A380s instead of reffiting them). It's interior is luxurious not because of any traits inherent to the plane itself, but thanks to the carrier using it. It was outdated before even coming out, and tech kept leaving it behind, with even airbus abandoning the idea and moving on the A350F and others. It's range is about the same of a 747, and for it's size it's cargo capacity is absolutely laughable, with it being 40 tons behind a 747 (which MTOW is 100 tons less that of a A380) even if you remove all the seats from both planes so you can't even try and convert it into a cargo airplane. The only thing it has above other planes is it's full 2 decks and 100 extra seat capacity (which no carrier could ever truly fill, which is why they are decomissioning this plane everywhere). If that's your thing then the A380 is the greatest plane ever built but if not, well, I can't quite comprehend how anyone would have this level of love for the plane itself.
      Also, trying to equate an A380 to a Rolls Royce is like pimping out a double decker bus and then trying to claim it's a luxury vehicle.

    It’s bloody criminal that we are going to lose this magnificent aircraft after the next decade or so. We lost Concord, the 747 are going, or even gone mostly, now this. It’s a damned shame. Hope Airbus comes up with a mid-life upgrade package for the A380 like Boeing did with the 747’s.

    • @AimlessSky
      @AimlessSky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Unfortunately, its demise was due to Airbus betting on the hub & spoke model, and the fact that the plane wasn't designed for a freighter version. That sets it apart from the 747 which is still in production.

What is most interesting about the A380 is that you as an TH-camr were born on it.
